Clearly Besotted 2nd Anniversary Blog Hop...

I am SO excited to be joining in for the Clearly Besotted 2nd Anniversary Blog hop! There is going to be lots of fun stuff to see for sure! If you are following along on the hop, you should have made it here from my friend Amy's blog. I kinda got all excited and went a little overboard and made up 3 projects for today! :)

Here is my first card....

I stamped the Clearly Besotted Basic Strips on a sheet of card stock in Provincial Gray. the I layered it with a piece of white. I stamped the daisies from the new set called Celebrating You, onto a piece of Vellum. I added a sentiment from that same set to the front by heat embossing with white powder. Then I attached it all the front with a little piece of gray ribbon and a staple.

The next tag uses a sentiment from Most Wonderful.

It was super easy to mask off and stamp using the different colors. I added this one to a little gift bag and what a super simple little gift!

This last card uses the new wreath from Joy to the World.

I stamped this one about 4 times in a circle to make the wreath. I added in the little berry stamp too, for some color. Last, I stamped in the larger berries and colored them with stickles. I heat embossed the word joy in the center using Gold Embossing Powder.

There are prizes..... :)

Stephanie from Clearly Besotted is so very sweet! She has offered up these prizes....

One lucky winner will get a £20 (approx. $30 USD) e-giftcard to Clearly Besotted! For your chance, leave a comment by 11:59pm ESTon 10/7/14. There will also be a grand prize of a £100 Clearly Besotted e-giftcard, give to one of the commenters on the hop.

Wonderful cards, Laurie! Love how you used stripes and chevrons for your backgrounds! The soft stamping on the vellum looks beautiful and the different colored sentiments are so fun! Gorgeous wreath too!

Laurie, you did a great job with your cards and the tag. I like the look of the daisies as well as the embossed sentiment on the vellum. On the tag I very much like that you stamped the sentiment in different colours, that looks great. And on the wreath I very much like how you made the berries sparkle by using stickles.

Such a nice variety of cards and techniques. I love vellum and am happy to be seeing it used more. Gotta say the wreath card is probably my favorite, but I'll definitely put all of them in my CASE-it file. Nice work!

Love all the layers on the first card, it's really playful. The way you created the tag with different colours is really creative and I really like that. The third card is just stylish and retro. Love all of them.
